Hi, I've installed a 2-gang power socket spur from an existing socket. The spur is on a dividing wall with the next room, where I'd like to install another 2-gang socket.Could I run a cable from the existing spur a few inches through the wall to the new spur?

Looking at the building regulations 'Domestic Heating Compliance Guide' it looks as if I should be spitting the system into 2 zones.
It says:
"Dwellings with a total usable floor area up to 150m2 should be divided into at least two space heating zones with independent temperature control, one of which is assigned to ...

My plan is to build up the hearth using bricks and then tile over it with quarry tiles...the question is: would bricks be ok or should I use something else like concrete? The loor in the room is concrete, will this make any difference? should I tile the whole hearth ...

I have a worcester Greenstar heatslave 18/25 boiler. With heating only selected the hot water coming out of the tap gets very hot about 65 degrees, even with the hot water stat set at min and hot water not selected. The diverter valve appears to be operating, is this normal or is the diverter valve faulty. Any Advice appreciated
